In your more quiet and reflective moments, do you ever consider the you are trying to defend the indefensible? Do you ever wonder if you have been indoctrinated and your mind programmed? Do you have any doubts at all about any aspect of Islam?

Does fear of punishment for transgressing against Islamic teaching ever come into your mind? Do you believe that Allah knows what you are thinking and what is in your heart?

How baseless? It may be rude to ask whether you are a thief or racist, but that doesn't make it baseless. It may, though, be baseless because the answer is pretty well bound to be "no", whether the answer is true or a lie.So are you saying that there is no point to sum's question about your beliefs, because you have to say yes, you believe Allah knows your thoughts, whether that is true or not?

‘Hindus and Muslims belong to two different religious philosophies, social customs and literary traditions. They neither intermarry nor eat together, and indeed they belong to two different civilisations which are based mainly on conflicting ideas and conceptions.’ Muhammad Ali Jinnah
